Same problem. Very dissatisfied. And Uuntu software centre is no good.

This worked for me and I thank you. Has to be entered at each use. Patch
in Wayland or synaptic would be better. This does solve problem.

Mushfequr Rahman (shaon254)'s solution is working.

I know the workaround solution but will this ever be fixed with wayland? 17.10?

I had the same problem also, I ran xhost +si:localuser:root in terminal and all good now. Thanks so much for this help.
